I have to admit that I am not too keen on Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. I feel it’s like birthdays; after a while they’re just like any other day.

It’s been raining almost non-stop for three days along the coast, and we all had enough now. So this morning when I woke up and noticed it wasn’t raining anymore, I was out of the apartment to see what the Med looked like. It actually looked the same at 9 o’clock in the morning as [...] AP Photo/Seth Wenig NY, NY I owe you all a huge apology for not writing for more than a month. I don’t know if it’s because my mind froze in this cold weather that I am not used to anymore, or because I have spent almost every day at the hospital and rehab with Sophie [...] Yesterday was another magnificent day; it was sunny and the mercury was around 70°F.

The city had closed a couple of streets around the main ‘place’ and there [...] Well it is still raining here, but not as bad as yesterday. More importantly, I woke up with news from St-Lucia.

Trying to remember my first memory of staring at the evening or night sky in amazement; I recall it was in the summer of 1987. I was in Dorval, near Montréal airport in a bar that had lounge chairs on the lawn just next to the [...] As I am writing about my trip to Paris I just noticed the sky changing colors. Since I am moving to a smaller, much smaller apartment next week and also on the second floor rather than the sixth floor, I wanted to capture this amazing view I was privileged to have for the past four [...] Last week I went into « Le Var » which is a region of Provence with 190 miles of shore land on the Mediterranean Sea. The most famous town of this region has to be St-Tropez, where French stars have a summer homes and Brigitte Bardot was probably one of the best known international star to bring [...] |
